it's all about the Bride

The bride is the star of the show. She shines brighter than any diamond and her beauty reflects her love for her partner.

I’m not saying that The Big Day isn’t about the groom too but I am saying that on The Big Day, I almost never leave the bride’s side and it’s my favorite part of the gig (well one of the faves).

I’ve heard horror stories of Bridezillas but I have yet to meet one and this beautiful bride featured here is yet another DREAM BRIDE. The beautiful part of being up the bride’s arse during The Big Day is capturing all the sweet moments with her pops. I may or may not have caught sight of a tear rolling down Artimus Pyle’s cheek but how can you not cry in these moments, I know I always do, even when it’s not my close friends tying the knot.

The Dream Bride

With that being said, there have been some very fond memories made while working with some of the brides that I have met, lots of laughs shared and so many priceless images (and videos sometimes) captured. Working with this adventurous bride was exactly that and then some. Never one to turn down an adventure and especially one with my camera, I agreed to traverse to this magical railroad spot on Heather’s Wedding Day. Through the brambles and mud, bloodied arm dripping on the dress and all, Heather never stopped smiling and laughing. Ever a trooper with a vision, Heather mentioned this spot behind her backyard wedding before she said I Do and I said Hell Yes I Do want to go there and we did, it was perfect and exactly what she had in mind which is all that matters.

It wasn’t the location that made Heather one of The Dream Brides that I have worked with, it was her authentic joy, her creative energy colliding with the adrenaline of her wedding day that made for magical memories for all of us.
